Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
It’s a busy time for Richard Borg. While I wait for expansions 4 and 5 of Commands & Colors: Ancients to show up, and debate running out and getting BattleLore: Heroes, Days of Wonder announced the November release of Sword of Stalingrad for Memoir ’44. This expansion will give players the fourth pre-printed double-sided map, but more importantly, will introduce urban warfare to the game. To accommodate this different type of fighting, Sword of Stalingrad will also include a new Combat Deck of 20 cards. I suspect these cards will give players more non-section order options. But again, I see this as a change in approach from the original game and wonder how it will turn out.

I don’t play Memoir’44 as much as I used to, but I’m sure to buy this. That’s not just blind completism; I’m interested in seeing how DoW choose to develop this game to make it as good a WW2 game as C&C:A is an ancients game. I think that’s possible, but that there is a way to go. ;)
